As a smart, mature, adult and president, Donald Trump decided it was fine to mock a 16 years old who is standing up for her future and her generation.
Well, she trumped back by changing her bio to fit his words

Low-effort mockery deserves low-effort contempt.

That shitstain of a bully Trump doesn’t deserve to breathe the air in our planet

May be How Dare You would have been appropriate line in her bio!

Dont get me wrong, in more than willing to believe hed be an ass to a young girl, but this seems like Poe's Law to me.
Puppiesfortheplanet
Nice! I did not know about Poe's law!

She pretty much threw a tantrum. Usually kids get a time out for that. But hey, if it pushes an agenda so be it I guess.
Porecomesis
Just because she's mad—and rightfully so—doesn't mean she's wrong. Tone is exactly a style vs substance issue.
TahmKenchTheTavernWench
She is doing the same thing the dems are, yelling about a problem without providing a valid solution. Not productive in any way.
WilliamElse
The agenda is wanting a habitable planet. Is that so bad?
TahmKenchTheTavernWench
There is nothing wrong with that no. But pitching a bitch fit instead of giving viable solutions does nothing productive.
WilliamElse
The first thing she always says is listen to the scientists. The IPCC has been recommending viable solutions for years.
Porecomesis
Scientists have been very polite as they humbly handed in their reports. The politicians ignored them. It's time to get angry.
TahmKenchTheTavernWench
Fine by me, but let's channel that into productivity instead of waving our arms around and throwing tantrums. Sound fair?
BarryBadger
Denying facts only speaks of your fears. You're a pussy, hiding your head on a bush.
TahmKenchTheTavernWench
Where did I deny facts lol? Nice try though! Btw, the name calling only makes you look unintelligent. Might wanna try a different tactic.
BarryBadger
Get of your high horse. It's not my job to point out your delusions. Cunt.
TahmKenchTheTavernWench
LOL, back to the name calling. Thanks for the laughs man.

Leave it to Trump to belittle a person with disabilities just to feel powerful and attract applause from his followers.
timmy26
It’s funny because she doesn’t see it as a disability.. so why do you? Is it for convenience, maybe?
teufelpup
Is she disabled in some way?
Porecomesis
Not really, no. She has Aspergers but that doesn't hinder her.
NotgonnaTellgoogle
Asperger's is a disability. Is a form of autism.
YouMealyMouthedCrotchPheasant
It's part of the game. Almost the entire right wing has had a shot at her. Not the science because that is solid, but at her because she /2
YouMealyMouthedCrotchPheasant
2/ is a child and children, to some, are open to strawman attacks because for some reason they have the audacity of not being older.
Porecomesis
"Children are entitled and lazy!" Except until they passionately push for solutions to problems, whereupon they're pawns.
teufelpup
Meh..I saw part of her speech. I dunno but she was too over the top dramatic to be anything but annoying to me, regardless of content.
Porecomesis
That is style over substance. It is time to be angry. No one cares that you're annoyed. Grow up.
teufelpup
I’m 100% for environmental awareness. I’m just saying she’s barking up the wrong tree. Want change? Make Asia come into the 21st century.
Howbowdaht
Soak up that propaganda yo. Asia are totally coming to the party also por que no los dos?? Why only one before the other?

Cool, but that’s just India..

China's making an effort still. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-01/china-leader-in-renewable-energy-wages-war-on-pollution/11249162
teufelpup
Well maybe not the wrong tree. It’s the UN so Russia and China are there, but it’s not like Putin or Xi care about what she has to say.
ialwaysexpectthespanishinqusition
The planet could literally die I say now is the time to be over dramatic
teufelpup
Wanna make a big difference as far as the planet? Take it up with Asia. The west is light years ahead as far as sustainability goes.
Chereazi
For its population size China is behind the EU, but far better than the US. India even has lower emissions per capita than the EU. They are
Chereazi
just really large countries, but we have to get the CO2 footprint of each PERSON to a similar low level, and in that the US and Arabic
Chereazi
countries are the worst. It's unfair if a person in the US can have 2x the CO footprint of a person in China but claims that it's not their
teufelpup
Also, good luck convincing China, India, or Russia to be more eco friendly and quit trashing the place.
teufelpup
My point being she is barking up the wrong tree. Putin and Xi don’t give a rats ass about some teenager crying into a microphone.
WilliamElse
China are leading the way in renewables and their per capita emissions are a fraction of the US. Russia are still pretty bad but they...
WilliamElse
...have at least just signed up to the Paris Agreement which is recognition of how serious the issue is, something Trump still won't do.
